Odd Lots · Jigar Shah on the Three Big Things Driving the Nuclear Energy Revival · 30 Sep 2024 podcast

The public perception of nuclear is at 90 plus percent around a nuclear power plant.

And so, you know, instead of going to a brand

brand new spot where you might have a mixed reviews, it's easier publicly to use existing sites.

It's it really is an extraordinary thing, right?

I think that, you know, most people view electricity like water, right?

So you just put a bigger pump in, you put in more pipe, it gets to your house, you got hot water, that's great.

It's not like that at all.

There there is this complex physics equation that you have to solve for.

Well, so there's the there's the perfect balance between supply and demand.

Yep.

But then there's also figuring out, you know, what the constraints are of each individual segment on the transmission line.

Right.

So if you're using power in New York City and you're creating a lot of extra power in the out of the nuclear plants in Illinois, right.

Then that power has to go via Indiana and Ohio and then through Pennsylvania to New York City.

And like they may or may not be able to carry that much.

Right.

And so

So they have to do these studies.

So every time you try to add something to the grid, they have to do a study and they have to figure out whether that capacity is there, how often it's there, whether it would continue to be balanced or whether it would be imbalanced.
